A Pint-Sized Gift Guide

Buying gifts for the children in your life is the absolute best. I tend to steer away from plastic and commercial and gravitate towards classic and handmade. An extra dash of whimsy is always a plus, too! I would happily purchase any of these items for my classroom or my future kid's playroom.

My Secret Habit

Can we talk babies for a minute? Does anyone else feel sorely tempted to buy pint-sized presents for their not-yet-conceived offspring? We're not planning on having a baby for at least a couple of years but that doesn't stop me from doing some serious window shopping. I already have a huge storage closet full of kid stuff (hello, I teach nursery school!), yet something tells me I couldn't explain a newborn romper in quite the same way...

Bumblebee Backpack

This bumblebee backpack from the MOMA store is pint-sized and perfect for transporting after-school snacks, library books and other daily preschool necessities. At $20, the price couldn't be any cuter.
